Otago v Manawatu (Ranfurly Shield)
-
134?
Coincidentally, that's exactly the number of points we've scored this year against the two teams contending for the Unfairly Shield this weekend.
They might as well have a shield made out of a wooden toilet seat for all it symbolizes these days.
To paraphrase Trump, "Very sad"!

Don't blame me for the vagaries of the NPC draw and how that effects Shield challenges. Your Assembled International XV will get a shot one day.

no one wants to see a plastic franchise like McDonalds rewarded with a Michelin Star.

Not while bunny teams hold the Shield.
First round of picks are by the premiership teams in reverse seeding order - for a championship team home game. The worst performing Premiership team picks the shield holder.
Second round of picks is by championship teams for championship home games - the shield holder picks the weakest available premiership team.
It is a fucked system.

Apparently Manawatu hold the record for the longest drought for holding the log of wood...
Manawatu - 41 years.
Northland - 40 years
BOP - 15 years
NH - 15 years
Auckland - 11 yearsand just for you @Chris-B
Ta$man - however long they have been in existence
Surprising that none of those droughts are as long as the 43 years that several teams have racked up without winning the NPC First Division.
M4L doesn't need to worry of course - his team has only racked up 42 years.

Here's all the possible Ranfurly Shield games this season, I did a video talking about where I think it will go for my supporters.

@Bovidae That path would only be sweeter if it went via Northland.
I mentioned the possible routes not the improbable. You need the Poo to win for that scenario, and hope Northland beat Canterbury.

Hahaha, not me, but good to know that the quality of debate on RS has improved while I've been in Oz.
